TO.the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GINTLEMEN, IHoge it will not be imagined, that because I had dccl tred my intention of.ag.in becoming a Candidate for the East India Direcuion whenever a Vacancy might occur. I heard without concern of the' Death of the worthy Ex-Di redor, Mr. ROBERTS. It seems proper Out I should, upon this occasion, renew my respecitul solicitations for your Support. I do riot re quest it upon any other ground than that of your knowledge of me, and your having reason to think.that if I obtained a Seat in the Direelion, I should be desirous of promoting, and in some degree, abla to promote, our common and im portant interests. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, with great Respea, • N our most obedient and very - humble Servant, RICHARD TWINING. it includes the wit &e of the coast belonging to tha t once potßerful and commercial State. The 'article to which we are alluding also adds, that the opening of the ports of Spain has afforded a, temporary coin mereiai prosperity to this Country, . but BUO - N A* PARTE threatens that - he will soon drive us out of Spai4l. Von this subjea we are not, we contess, so desponding as many of our conteMporaries.. We see no reason to suppose that his success in . future Will begreater than it hai - hitherto'bee'n. We may be told that 131701 A PARTE will. bow turn his undi vided attention to Spain, and ,that he will pour into that country such an overwhelming foree,, as will bear down' all resistance. That BUONAPARTE will shortly have a formidable force in Spain we are Strand, Feb. 6, aso. IMPERIAL P.A.RLIAMEW. HOUSE OF PEERS, WEDNSEDAY; FEBRUA,Rir 'ready to admit , but when he "tells us that he will devote 350,000 men to the conquest of Spain, we give .no credit to the assertion ) because we, know that he could nut send any- thing like such a force. But looking at the exertions which Spa% has made, me see no 'reason for despair. Is that 'country now in -so bad a state as it. was when its . gallant inhabitants rose to assert their rights ? BUONAPARTE had then a great army in Spain he was in possession of Madrid, Pampeluna, and Barcelona, and might, but for an uuaceountable oversight, have been in possession of -Cadiz. The Spaniards were without Leaders, without Soldiers, with out arms, 'and yet they successfully carried on the the unequal contest. BUONAPARTE boasted that in a few months he would not leave a village in Spain in a state of insurre6tioq, and yet he is not now in adual pessessienof Une-feurth part of the Kingdom. The French and Dutch Papers of course give the most, favourable pitures of the state of the French males in Spain. They boast, indeed, of defeating the Spaniards with immense loss upon every. occasion, but what is the .result ?. Do the French advance No,'these irresistible conquerors are even, according to their own accounts, obliged to -ad upon the de fensive.. The Spaniards harass them even altno,t u to the gates of Madrid, and it is made a matter of boast, in the last French Papers, that such has been the uncommon exertions oldie Generals in the North , of Spain, that the post now adually arrives at - Madt:d from that, quarter pretty regularly I—Under these circumstances, we are not much alarmed respecting the ultimate fate of Spain, either by the threats of ,BUONAPARTg, ay -by the gloomy predi6tions which are so frequently made in this Country, The Right Rev . the Bishop of ROCHE STER (Dr. Kink) •having, pursuant to the usage of thdir Lordihips; read Prayers, business commenced at about twenty minutes after four o'clock. A Bill of Naturalization was read a second time, and was referred to a Seled Committee.of the House for this day fortnight.

In a Paper of this morning, he has whimsically attacked Ministers for having driven the North of Europe into the arms of France, when it is, no torious to all the world that it was the refusal of Lord GR EN yz Et's Adininis;ration to aslist in the common' cause that alienated Russia from' this Country, This Writer, however; by some uncommon fatality, s t ems to be so fund of this point,. that he aetuilly repeats it again iA another 'shape, for he accuses the present Mlnsters with having stood still ,when ail Europe was nun- . ing."

Although BUUtpIPARTE-- has not formally an nounced his intention of annexing .Holland to France, be has intimated his intention in a way too clear to be misunderstood. In an article in tbe ilioniteur of ilk 31st ult. some observations are made on the trade of this couatr,, and in order to prove that it has been affected by BUONA PAIUTE'S regulations, a 'passage iu his ,Majesty's speech on 'Abe opening of 'Parliament . , is 'com- . pletely perverted. The Manlier however admits. that BUONAPARTE'S plans havenot wholly succeeded, and attributes tl.at partial failure to the facility with which English natrchandixe fOund its Way into land. - In order to render the continuance of this for bidden trade impossible, the Moniteur states, that the whole of the Sea Coast, as far as the Elbe, shall fie'annext cf to France.'
